Spotify now lets you swipe on songs to learn more about them

Spotify is introducing a new feature called About the Song, which allows users to learn more about the songs they are listening to. This feature is designed to enhance the listening experience by providing stories and context, reminiscent of the VH1 show Pop Up Video. The information is presented through short, swipeable story cards located in the Now Playing View, which explore the meaning behind the music. Users can scroll down to find these cards and swipe to access the content. The details provided are sourced from third parties and include interesting facts and behind-the-scenes moments related to the songs. Currently, the About the Song feature is being rolled out to Premium users on both iOS and Android platforms. However, it is not yet available in all regions. The beta tool is currently accessible in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia. This rollout is part of Spotify's ongoing efforts to enhance user engagement and interaction with its platform. In addition to the About the Song feature, Spotify has recently introduced other functionalities, including a group messaging feature and prompt-based playlists. These updates reflect Spotify's commitment to continually improving the user experience and providing more interactive features for its listeners. The About the Song feature is expected to further enrich the way users connect with their favorite music.
